The NEC (read: CCSU and Sacred Heart) don't want them. The MEAC is an HBCU league, but it seems like they are softening their distance on HBCUs only (read: Howard wants to go the CAA but keep the MEAC afloat).
Thanks for the reply. However, do you think New Haven would go D1? I think they might like being D2 and in the Athelon College Football magazine, they were mentioned. I'm torn if NH went D1 (FCS), it might be interesting to see another D1 school in CT, but do would they succeed being D1?
Define succeed. Are they going to make the NCAA tournament in basketball once their probationary period is over? Possibly. The NEC is a weak basketball league and to my knowledge UNH is solid at the D-2 level. However, they probably won't amount to a whole lot at the Division 1 level. That being said, I absolutely believe they want to go D-1. It would be good publicity for them if they do make the tournament. Oddly enough, the CAA invited Campbell today so I don't think Howard is on the their radar anymore as they are at 14 schools but who knows.
their AD is quoted as saying they are looking into going to D1 for all sports.
Oh, cool. Didn't know that! Isn't UNH rival SCSU, or am I mistaken? I wonder who would be their rival? CCSU?
